The snow, frost and ice continue to linger across the country, but farmers have been ploughing on, despite the challenging conditions.

They've been to the fore clearing roads, delivering milk to shops, dropping medical supplies down boreens and helping medical personnel get to work - all while keeping their own farms at home ticking over.

We've received some brilliant photos from our readers this week and we want to see more.
